.SH DESCRIPTION
lvchange allows you to change the attributes of a logical volume.
.SH OPTIONS
See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
.TP
.I \-a, \-\-available y/n
Controls the availability of the logical volumes for use.
This is (among others) useful for changing the logical volume's name
( see
.B lvrename(8)
) safely.
.TP
.I \-C, \-\-contiguous y/n
Tries to set or reset the contiguous allocation policy for
logical volumes. It's only possible to change a non-contiguous
logical volume's allocation policy to contiguous, if all of the
allocated physical extents are already contiguous.
.TP
.I \-\-minor minor
Set the minor number.
.TP
.I \-M, \-\-persistent y/n
Set to y to make the minor number specified persistent.
.TP
.I \-p, \-\-permission r/w
Change access permission to read-only or read/write.
.TP
.I \-r, \-\-readahead ReadAheadSectors
Change read ahead sector count per logical between 2 and 120.
Not used by device-mapper.
.SH Examples
"lvchange -x n vg00/lvol1" prevents the allocation of any physical
extents on logical volume lvol1 in volume group vg00.
